THE WAITING GAME

Waiting for someone to change so that you can be happier?

Waiting to meet the right person to feel more complete?

Waiting for the right biz op to be free from financial struggle?

Waiting for the competition not to be so fierce?

Waiting for the economy to get better?

Waiting for your ship to come in?

Waiting for someone else's approval?

Waiting for your luck to change?

It seems to me that the innermost thoughts/beliefs of needing someone or something, outside of one's self, to improve the quality of life, would have to be something like:

I  believe with great conviction, as evidenced by my behavior, 

I am a victim of people and circumstances-

I really believe that my success and well-being depend upon luck, 

someone, or  circumstances-

I really believe I do not have what it takes to bring about success

and fulfillment in areas in my life that are lacking success and fulfillment- 

How does it seem to you?

Changing a job, relationship or situation, that is less than desirable, in hopes of finding a more desirable job, relationship or situation, without changing the state-of-mind and the thoughts that 'cause' anything 'undesirable', will only recreate undesirable results no matter how many times a job, relationship or situation, is changed.

What would it take for you to have a state-of-mind absolutely convinced of your innate potential for accessing countless ways for you to prosper and thrive in all areas of your life, regardless of anything? What would it take?

 

What would it take to be so secure of your creative nature for knowing what- ever is necessary for you to know for experiencing greater peace and  harmony, that you are caused to attract into your life the most creative life- enhancing ideas, opportunities, people, places and things, that are reflections of your greater sense of knowing? What would it take?

 

What would it take to be so secure in your belief that... ...there is no place where the Completeness of your creator ends and you begin, that, without even trying, you express in greater ways your natural talents and special gifts, although hidden from you they may well have been? What would it take?

 

What would it take for you to  depend solely upon your infinite resources, your God-like nature, your limitless potential, (after all, you are made in the image and likeness of God. Remember?) to bring about the full realization of your ideals and desires, regardless of economic conditions, regardless of past experiences, regardless of anything or anyone? What would it take?

 

What would it take to live your life more fully and completely, without compromising your ideals and desires?  What would it take?

ANSWER:

Happy trails,

Harvey

THE OPTIMISM HOTLINE

As important as it is to accept the part you play in bringing about disharmony into your life...and learn from it, it is no less important to take responsibility for the joys and pleasures you experience in your life, even though it may seem that someone or something should get the credit. Not to take anything away from the someone or something you feel loving and wonderful towards, but the joys and pleasures you feel are of your making. Think about it. Not everyone gets the same joy and pleasure about the same or same people. So, if it's not coming from the someone or something,   where are your feelings of joy and pleasure coming from? Wake up, it's from you. Joys and pleasures are an inside job.

Joys and pleasures, as whatever or whomever, would not be in your life unless you felt good enough about yourself to experience joy and  pleasure. The people and situations in your life that you feel joyous and pleasurable towards are a demonstration of the love you have for yourself. You may not remember going around saying, "I love myself, I love myself, I love myself, I love myself", "I love myself, I love myself, I love myself, I love myself", but, the degree you are accepting, patient, respectful, caring, open-minded and loving, toward yourself and others, will determine the  degree of joy and pleasure you will experience as people, places and things.  It's 'cause and effect' all over again. Remember 'cause and effect'? How soon we forget, huh?

 

Here is your mission 

With a ball point or felt tip pen, draw a happy face on the inside of your thumb. Two dots for the eyes, a smile for the mouth. Look at your thumb, and with as much conviction as you can muster, affirm the following:

Today I'm gonna anchor this thought within my mind;

The love and goodness I express return to me in kind. (And then some!)

Glance at your thumb during the course of the day. You will trigger a realization that your many expressions of love, patience and goodness, cause your joyous and pleasurable experiences. Sounds corny? Sue me.

Should you accept this assignment, do not be surprised to find yourself behaving in a more loving and patient way to yourself, spilling over to others, and experiencing more joy and pleasure for yourself than usual. As a matter of fact, you can expect it. Wanna bet?

 

Reinforce the above affirmation every morning and as you replace a fading happy face on your thumb. This assignment is to continue each day until your next mission.

Cherish your visions. Cherish your ideals. Cherish the

music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in

your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest

thoughts, for out of them will grow all delightful

conditions, all heavenly environment; of these, if you

but remain true to them, your world will at last be built.
